It has been confirmed today that Colchester Uniteds 19 year old Zaire Striker Lomano Tresor Lua-Lua, who has recently been in the media spotlight with interest from several Premiership Clubs, will be moving to Newcastle United. The #2.2 million offer was accepted by the board at a meeting late last night and NUFC are now allowed to discuss personal terms with the young forward. A more detailed press release will be released this afternoon (Friday)

Come on then new player (allegedly!), lets have a new song for the lad.

My suggestion is the tune from that Nike advert where the stars are playing on the beach, "Samba, 'something' Samba, Luaaa-Luaaa-Luaaa'

The obvious other one is the theme tune to the Teletubbies, but it's not very flattering.

"There's a lad who we all know
Lua Lua
There's a lad who we all know Luamano Lua Lua"

Hmmm...

Ooh ah Lua Lua,
said, ooh ah Lua Lua

Lua Lua sang to "Louis Louis"

Coat...etc

Louis Louis - perfectly good suggestion, Rob. Especially since I can suggest nothing but "Say oo-ah Lua Lua, say oo-ah Lua Lua", or my personal fave chant, "Lua you? Lua you?"

By the way, #2.2m? What happened to the #300k+ he was supposed to be worth?

Oh sorry, just spotted you floated the 'ooh-ah' one too.
